Apple Pay is expanding to three new countries. Starting today, users in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Azerbaijan can make payments through Apple’s payment platform.

It’s been a while since 9to5Mac has been covering the imminent launch of Apple Pay in Costa Rica and Colombia. After months of banks preparing the launch of the service, it’s finally available.
In Costa Rica, at least Banco Promerica, BAC Credomatic, and BCR are supporting credit cards through Apple Pay. All these bank apps have been updated over the past few days to bring support to the Apple Wallet.

In Colombia, at least Bancolombia is already supporting Apple’s own payment system, as spotted by Twitter user David Mendes, then later confirmed by Apple through its own webpage. Clients from Bancolombia can add Visa and Mastercard cards.

In Azerbaijan, there are a few banks promoting Apple Pay’s arrival: Kapital Bank with Visa credit cards, ABB, and Unibank Sanin Banking. It’s possible to also add Mastercard credit cards as well.

Wikipedia now accepting donations via Apple Pay on its website

https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/09/wikipedia-now-accepting-donations-via-apple-pay-on-its-website/

The popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia recently updated its website with a small but great new feature for iOS and macOS users. Wikipedia is finally accepting Apple Pay as a payment method on its website, making it easier for users to send donations to the non-profit organization.

As noted by Nikolaj Hansen-Turton on Twitter, there’s now an Apple Pay button right next to the credit card and PayPal options when sending a donation. With just a few taps, iPhone, iPad, and Mac users can choose an amount and pay using the cards stored in the Apple Wallet app.

It’s worth noting that the Apple Pay option is still being gradually rolled out to users worldwide, so you may not be able to find it right now, depending on your current location. For more information, check the donations page on the Wikipedia website.

August 10, 2022

Mobile payment service Apple Pay is now accessible in Malaysia with Maybank, AmBank and Standard Chartered acting as its three supporting banks.

Apple users in Malaysia will now be able to make contactless payments using iOS devices like iPhones and Apple Watches thanks to the feature, which went live yesterday.

“Customers with Visa and Mastercard cards from banks including AmBank, Maybank and Standard Chartered Bank can now use Apple Pay, with American Express cards to be available with Apple Pay later this year,” the consumer electronics company announced on its website.

To use the service, you can simply hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near the contactless terminal, and authenticate using Face ID or Touch ID. When making purchases in Safari, customers can use Apple Pay without having to create an account, key in a PIN, fill out lengthy forms, or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information.

Every Apple Pay purchase is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or a device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code.

Apple Pay gets the green light to launch its service in South Korea
By Kate Park @kateparknews - February 3, 2023

A South Korean financial regulator said on Friday that the country had approved the Apple Pay launch to allow local credit card firms to introduce the Apple Pay service.

The announcement comes nearly two months after South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) confirmed to TechCrunch that it is reviewing the Apple Pay launch clause submitted by local credit company Hyundai Card, a financial unit of Hyundai Motors.

Per previous media outlets, Hyundai Card had a one-year exclusivity partnership with Apple Pay in South Korea. In other words, only Hyundai Card holders will initially be able to use Apply Pay service via iPhones and other Apple devices.

But this time, based on the Financial Service Commission (FSC) statement, other local cardholders also will be able to use the Apple Pay service, meaning Hyundai Card does not have its one-year exclusivity partnership with Apple Pay anymore. TechCrunch could not reach Hyundai Card, which has yet to release an official statement, for more details.

South Korea is now the eleventh country in Asia Pacific to support Apple’s wallet and digital payment service. The Cupertino-based firm is already operating its payment services in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and New Zealand.
